Two things about that stand. It doesn’t life either wheel clear of the ground, so if either wheel is sitting on a slight bump the kickstand is clear of the ground. It’s just a bit but it’s kinda stupid.

the second thing is that there is an extension for the tab you push it down with, to clear the tubs if you add them. It’s just long enough to hit the ground if you are riding in a ”spirited” fashion. Mine has been rather severely ground down after a few ground strikes in turns.

Thanks, maybe you could place a shim to lower the mount and lift the wheel higher.

I was thinking about that. But then it began to sound like an effort so I went for a ride on my Dutch bike… that cures all frustrations.

I have a stuck Schlumpf. A stuck Schlumpf sucks.
I am trying to heat it and cool it to draw in oil to the threads. It is so stuck that I might break the frame trying to get it off. I have an 18" pipe wrench on the lockring and am hitting the end of it with a large hammer to get it to budge.
I love Dutch Bikes.

Hey,
Thank guys. Your positive thoughts helped. It moved 1/12 of a turn out. Just what I needed. I feel so unSchlumpfified.

Yeah, you are right. A stuck schlumph truly sucks. I glad to hear your schlumpification issue has been corrected.

to prevent this happening again there is a cream for it…

At times, some major league baseball players find themselves in a schlumpf...

There had to be focus groups and marketing and advertising MBAs, Linguists, and consumer behavior Psychologists working for years to land on calling a product a Schlumpf.
You too can achieve a waistline like a Schlumpf.

Yes, it prevents chafing between the thighs and the resulting Schlumpf sores. A new flavor of Ben & Jerry's anyone?

I want me some Schlumpf

But they ain't cheap
